Sunday, April 24

Finished the week with 47 miles with a 10-miler in Spruce Pine, NC. I ran the 10-miler on a very hilly course, but I managed to accomplish an 8:30 min/mile pace by accelerating toward the end of the run.

Next week I will combine week -6 and week -5 of the plan, because I have to save a week to run a race on June 4th. So I will run the lower mileage of week -6, but I will do the better quality work of week -5. The week will look like the following:

Long runs: 11 + 10 miles.
Track workout: 3200 warmup, 2000 fast (7:52.5, 1:34.5/lap), 800 recovery, 2000 fast, 4800 cooldown (might want to consider this on the street). Sum of about 8 miles.
Easy runs: 7 miles each (of 3).
Total: 50 miles.
